Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
